Experience opera like never before with the MWO SmallStages team in William Walton’s one-act comedy classic. The second half of the concert presents Tatyana’s Party Pieces – “an informal reimagining of Pushkin’s great party scene from Eugene Onegin and its ‘entertainments’… a mix of music, poetry and prose, some familiar, some less so. Mid Wales Opera is committed to offering experience to young performing artists, with at least 50 per cent of the company’s singers being under the age of 30 or less than four years out of education.
